-
 According to media report, the Coach of the Nigerian Dream team for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio, Brazil, has lamented on the conditions the Nigerian Football Federation has subjected him and his coaching crew to and want the President to come to their aid, as they look forward to fly the country flag in Rio.

Nigeria will play their first match against Japan on 4 August, and the Coach is worried, the situation might affect the moral of his team and the entire preparation if nothing is done urgently.

Siasia said Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) owes him and the coaches five months’ salary arrears, while no allowance has been paid to the team in the last five months, and the team have been abandoned in the USA, where they are preparing for the Olympics.
The Coach was quoted to have said:

 “We are being owed backlog of allowances and wages in the last five months. No single kobo has been pay to the team as at today. I’m pleading with the NFF and the Ministry of Sports to pay us our salaries. They should pay us before the Olympics. We are suffering. No fund at all, even we have not received the tickets to go to Brazil from here.

“The team has suffered too much, as there is no encouragement to show for our patriotism to the country,”

“We will not hold the country to ransom by threatening not to play our matches, but the government has to come to our rescue. I know that by the time the Olympics will be over, our monies will not be paid,”


….Clearly, the Nigerian Football is being managed by wrong persons, and there is need for urgent revamping of the Football house…The President and the entire board should resign, and new board made up of ex professionals elected into the board, and also, the Federation should be allowed to fund itself, and by this I mean, Government should hands off and let see if the scramble for the NFF Presidency would still be that lucrative…I feel Nigeria football is what it is today, due to corruption in the NFF…
